Do you ever notice when you try to be sarcastic with people who are equally if not more sarcastic they take you too literally sometimes?
Granted, with some people it's very hard to know whether you're being sarcastic, but I think it brings up an important point that we should never assume the worst of people especially when dealing with a sarcastic conversation.
Or maybe we're so sure of ourselves we forget that other people out there have their own flows or "styles" of sarcasm.
This relates to an irritating anecdote I relive in my mind.
I enjoy having sarcastic conversations with people as long as they know I'm not being serious and I'm not out to offend. Sometimes, sarcastic conversations become so outlandish it's hilarious. I love it.
BUT...some people ruin my sarcasm chi. They interrupt the flow and balance of sarcasm traveling within my body by making comments that do not contribute to the sarcasm. In other words, they take me seriously and all the effort in situating the right feng shui just goes out the damn window.
Anyway, the point is not to take things too literally or too personally with some people or you just end up finding ways to be offended.
